# Verification record — tn/dgsn/passport-application@1.0.0 ## Candidate selection GOV-4638 ("GovSchema Standard Research"). This cycle scouted three jurisdictions not yet in the registry — Hungary, Belgium, and Tunisia — across all 6 target verticals each, prioritizing each country's own official ministry/agency domain and rejecting login-gated wizards or prose-only guidance in favor of directly fetchable, unauthenticated, field-by-field specimens. - **Hungary** came back strongest on Taxes (NAV's 24SZJA individual income-tax return, a genuine 30-page blank form plus a matching field-by-field instruction guide, both unauthenticated on `nav.gov.hu`), but DMV/Business Formation were weak (narrow temporary-permit form only; a `ceginformaciosszolgalat.kormany.hu` TLS failure blocking the Business Formation candidate) and Passport/National ID were confirmed dead ends (fully in-person biometric enrolment, no citizen-filled form). - **Belgium** came back strong on several verticals (Passport, Visa, DMV, and two caveated candidates on Business Formation/Taxes), but National ID was weak (a 2-field deregistration certificate, not an actual ID application). - **Tunisia** came back with Passport and National ID (CIN) both STRONG and uncaveated (both served from `sicad.gov.tn`, the Tunisian government's own multi-ministry e-services portal), plus Taxes, Business Formation, and Visa all STRONG or near-STRONG; only DMV came back weak (the vehicle-registration agency's own site, `attt.com.tn`, was unreachable this cycle). This schema authors Tunisia's Passport vertical, opening Tunisia as a new jurisdiction. It was picked over Hungary's Taxes candidate (a much larger multi-page model better suited to a dedicated cycle) and Belgium's passport form (a close second, but Tunisia's own showing across the other 5 verticals — Taxes, Business Formation, Visa, and National ID all independently confirmed reachable this same cycle — made it the stronger new-jurisdiction opening). Tunisia's other 5 verticals were not independently re-verified byte-for-byte this cycle beyond the initial scouting pass and remain open backlog for a future cycle. ## Reaching the live source `http://www.sicad.gov.tn/Fr/upload/1428663339.pdf` - Plain unauthenticated `curl` request (with a realistic desktop `User-Agent` header; no session/cookie state, no CAPTCHA/WAF challenge). - **The domain does not serve HTTPS on port 443** (`curl` to `https://` returns `ECONNREFUSED`) — the site is plain HTTP only. This is a property of the government's own hosting, not a fetch failure on this registry's part; re-verify via `http://`, not `https://`, in any future cycle. - HTTP 200, **48,909 bytes** retrieved. - PDF header `%PDF-1.5\r%...` at byte 0. - sha256 of the retrieved bytes: `7e667ead43869ad17d8a9ac5b881dd3bf27afce9e8d3cdae5a5e8341d598168d`. - 2 pages, confirmed via `pdfjs-dist`'s `numPages`. - `getAnnotations()` returned 0 annotations on both pages — a flat, print-and-fill specimen (dotted-line blanks, bracket-style checkboxes), not an interactive AcroForm. - The landing page hosting the download link (`http://www.sicad.gov.tn/Fr/Imprime_Demande-de-passeport_66_3_D292`) describes the form's own scope: "obtaining a passport for the first time or its renewal for Tunisians resident on Tunisian territory or for Tunisians resident abroad — changing an ordinary passport for Tunisians resident on Tunisian territory or for Tunisians resident abroad — obtaining a duplicate passport (for loss, theft, or damage) for Tunisians resident on Tunisian territory or for Tunisians resident abroad" — consistent with the four request-type checkboxes printed on the form itself (`requestType`). ### Authority attribution The form's own printed header reads "الجمهورية التونسية" (Republic of Tunisia) / "وزارة الداخلية" (Ministry of the Interior) / "الإدارة العامة للأمن الوطني" (General Directorate of National Security — the literal Arabic equivalent of Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale, DGSN, the same agency name and structure already used for `ma/dgsn/passport-application`'s Moroccan counterpart). `authority` is attributed to DGSN directly, since the form itself names DGSN as issuer; `sicad.gov.tn` is modelled as the hosting government e-services portal (it lists forms across essentially every Tunisian ministry, confirmed via its own "Sélectionner le ministère" dropdown), not as the issuing authority itself — the same "portal host vs. issuing authority" distinction this registry draws for other consular- or portal-hosted specimens (e.g. `tt/imd/passport-application-first-adult`). ## Extraction method `pdfjs-dist` (vendored at `/tmp/node_modules/pdfjs-dist`, loaded via `legacy/build/pdf.js` under `createRequire` since only a CommonJS build is present, not the `.mjs` build path this registry's tooling has used on other cycles) `getTextContent()` read every text item's raw string, `x`/`y` transform position on both pages, grouped by rounded `y` into printed rows, and cross-checked against `x` ordering within each row to resolve this specimen's own right-to-left (Arabic) layout — the rightmost item in a row is the first item in reading order, opposite the left-to-right ordering this registry's tooling defaults to. A second, independent scouting pass (a parallel subagent) extracted the same document with the same tool and arrived at an identical field inventory and identical page count/annotation count, cross-verifying this extraction. The text layer is clean, non-rasterized, and complete on both pages. A small number of isolated single-character items (e.g. `K`, `m`, `ø`, `«`, `fl`, `-`, `=`) appear interleaved in the birth-date row (approx. `y=414` to `y=435`) and near the document's decorative letterhead glyph (`y=749`) — these do not correspond to any real label text; they are almost certainly a symbol/dingbat font's glyphs (checkbox-frame or decorative marks) that `pdfjs-dist`'s text-content extraction reports as literal character codes rather than resolving to their intended glyph shape, the same "text layer extracts real content cleanly despite isolated undecoded glyphs" pattern this registry has documented before (see the `gov-form-pdf-extraction` reference). No canvas/PNG rendering pass was attempted this cycle — every real checkbox on this specimen is a numbered list item (`1`/`2`/`3`/`4`) rather than an asymmetric bracket grid, so no visual-confirmation risk existed that the text layer alone could not already resolve. ## Document structure **Page 1** (the entire applicant-facing form) — header (Republic of Tunisia / Ministry of the Interior / DGSN / "Ordinary Passport"); a 4-option numbered request-type checklist (first-time, extension, renewal, replacement) beside two small fee/receipt fields (payment receipt number, fiscal stamp fee amount); National ID Card Number with an adjoining mandatory specimen-signature box; the applicant's own name and parentage (first name, father's first name, grandfather's first name, family/maiden name, mother's full name); date and place of birth (with a separate governorate-of-birth blank); profession; height; sex (male/female checkboxes); eye color; other nationalities; a 4-column address block (number, street, city/village, governorate); a 4-option numbered marital-status checklist (single, widowed, divorced, married) with a conditional spouse block (first name, family name, nationality); a footnote explaining the checkbox-marking convention ("mark X in the correct box"); the place and date this application was drawn up; a footnote explaining the legal liability attached to the specimen signature; and finally an entirely office-only tail (old-passport reference number/deposit date; new-passport reference number/letter/issue date/expiry date/place of issue, all explicitly under an "خاص بالإدارة" — for administration use — heading; a mandatory citizen deposit-receipt slip; and an intake-office registration reference). **Page 2** — titled "بيانات خاصة بالإدارة" ("Data specific to the Administration") in its own header, and "خاص بمركز قبول المطلب" ("specific to the application-receiving center") beneath it. The entire page is a police/National Guard station chief's own in-person certification: confirming the applicant's identity against their National ID Card (card number, place/date of issue) or, for a minor, a civil-status record; two separate numbered blank lists (1-4, then 1-2) for the receiving officer to note which supporting documents were attached/reviewed (these are blank officer-completed lines, not a printed named checklist — see below); a free-text summary box; a national-security-zone referral block; and the station chief's own sign-off. No applicant-supplied data appears anywhere on this page. ## Scope: sections and fields excluded - **Page 1's own "خاص بالإدارة" tail is excluded in its entirety** (old/new passport reference numbers, issuance dates/place, the citizen-receipt slip, and the intake-office registration line) — explicitly headed "for administration use," filled by the receiving office, not the applicant. - **Page 2 is excluded in its entirety.** It is the receiving police or National Guard station chief's own in-person identity-verification certification and internal routing record — the same "officer-performed-duty, not applicant-supplied data" reasoning this registry applies to comparable sections elsewhere (e.g. `mu/pio/passport-application`'s Police Certificate). - **The "عدد" (roughly "No.")** printed directly above the request-type checklist (immediately below the form's own title) was not modelled as a field. It reads most plausibly as either a list-numbering column header for the four checkboxes beneath it, or an office-assigned application serial number — this registry could not confirm which from the text layer alone, and declined to fabricate either interpretation as a distinct applicant-supplied field. ## Scope: fields excluded from `documents[]` **`documents` is omitted entirely from this schema.** Unlike several other registry sources with an explicit named checklist (e.g. "Birth Certificate," "Two Photographs"), this specimen's own document-related content — the two numbered blank lists on page 2 — are blank lines for the receiving officer to write in whatever was actually submitted; the form does not itself print the names of any required supporting documents anywhere on either page. Modelling a `documents[]` array here would mean inventing document types this source does not name, which this registry's source-fidelity standard does not permit. A future cycle with an independent source (e.g. the agency's own published applicant checklist, if one exists elsewhere on `sicad.gov.tn` or a DGSN-specific page) could add this. ## Scope: judgment calls on requiredness This source has no consistent asterisk/mandatory-marking convention (its own footnote markers `(*)` and `(**)` denote a checkbox-marking instruction and a signature-liability declaration respectively, not a required-field marker), so requiredness was assigned by engineering judgment, following this registry's standard approach (core identity/eligibility/declaration fields required; secondary/ambiguous fields optional): 1. **`paymentReceiptNumber`/`fiscalStampFeeAmount` modelled optional.** Both are printed inline beside the request-type checkboxes, not under the page's later, explicitly-labelled "خاص بالإدارة" heading — so this schema does not exclude them outright — but this registry could not independently confirm from the text layer alone whether the applicant fills these in themselves (having purchased the fiscal stamp and recorded its receipt number before submitting) or whether the receiving officer completes them at intake, so both are modelled optional rather than assumed required. 2. **`otherNationalities` modelled optional**, as a supplementary disclosure distinct from the form's core identity data (name, parentage, birth particulars, NIC number), consistent with this registry's treatment of comparable supplementary fields elsewhere (e.g. `mu/pio/passport-application`'s `contactDetailsLocal` and siblings). 3. **`height` modelled required** as a core personal-description field printed adjacent to unambiguously mandatory fields (sex, eye color), consistent with this registry's treatment of comparable biodata fields on other passport specimens. 4. **The spouse block (`spouseFirstName`/`spouseFamilyName`/ `spouseNationality`) gated on `maritalStatus` equalling `MARRIED`.** The section's own printed labels ("Prénom/Nom/Nationalité de l'Epoux(se)") sit directly beneath the marital-status checklist with no separate discriminator field, so this schema reads the adjacency itself as the conditional link, the most direct reading available from a flat, non-interactive specimen. 5. **`addressNumber`/`addressStreet`/`addressCityOrVillage`/ `addressGovernorate` modelled as four separate fields**, matching this specimen's own printed 4-column table layout (echoed in both Arabic and French column headers), rather than merged into a single address string. ## Conformance 2 mock scenarios were reasoned through by hand against this schema's own `fields[]` conditions (not committed as fixture files, following this registry's own precedent for single flat-PDF passport schemas, e.g. `tt/imd/passport-application-first-adult`, `mu/pio/passport-application`): (1) a single, first-time applicant — resolves with only the unconditional fields required (no spouse fields, since `maritalStatus` is `SINGLE`); (2) a married applicant requesting a replacement passport — correctly requires `spouseFirstName`, `spouseFamilyName`, and `spouseNationality` (via `maritalStatus` = `MARRIED`), with `requestType` = `REPLACEMENT` and nothing else conditional (this schema does not model a reason-for-replacement sub-question, since none is printed on this specimen distinct from the four request-type checkboxes themselves). The sole `requiredWhen` condition in this schema (`maritalStatus`) was exercised both true and false across the two scenarios. Validated clean with `node tools/validate.mjs` and `node tools/validate-ajv.mjs` (ajv 2020-12 against `spec/v0.3/govschema.schema.json`). `registry-index.json` regenerated via `npm run build-index` in `tools/govschema-client/`. Models 28 `fields[]` across 7 steps, 0 `documents[]` entries (omitted per the scoping note above).
